president's agenda than harry reid, who we met for in the capitol on friday for this exclusive interview. he was feisty and confident, especially on this week's top issue, immigration reform. >> it has to get done. we have to work hard to get it done. it's really easy to write principles, to write legislation, much harder, and once we write the legislation, we have to get it passed, but i think things are looking really good. they're looking good for a number of reason, the right thing to do and, number two, the republicans can no longer stop this. they've tried it and it hasn't worked. look at what they tried to do to me a couple of years ago, look at what they tried to do with the president just this last time, and it just didn't work. >> but it still seems there will be a big sticking point, the biggest, i see, tie between border security and the path to citizenship for the illegal immigrants. senator rubio, part of the bipartisan group of senators said unless you have real triggers, he's not going to support the bill. >> that trigger is critically important, otherwise it will never h

part of the answer is last week harry reid and speaker boehner met, i understand, and harry reid, the democratic leader in the senate, majority leader, said, look, let's postpone this for a year and literally said to john boehner, you can't let this moment go by. i don't think boehner wants to let it go by, but he took a real hit on the tax increases for the rich when they did the fiscal cliff negotiations. another one main this sequence. they won't give, at least at this point. it truly is government at its worst. >> so andrew ross sorkin, play this out for us. if they put this off, is anyone ever going to take washington seriously again, and what's at stake? >> does anybody take them seriously? >> 9% of americans do. >> the 9%. >> that's probably a fair issue. one, what does it do to the economy in the long term and short term? most economists now are saying, as bad as the defense industry believes it's going to be, as bad as you could argue it's going to be for some of the poorest people in this country, if you have the discussion we were having during the commercial break about kr

harry reid would consider it but did not commit. >> i didn't vote for all the weapons last time because it didn't make sense. i will take a look at it. >> background checks and a greater focus on those with mental illness who battle mental illness. right now those are the areas that seem to be most likely as we are on capitol hill. >>> before his stop in minneapolis the president sat down with cbs yesterday for a pregame interview. >> despite last week's dismal economic numbers the president says he is confident the economy is on its way up. >> the reason the economy shrank a little bit despite manufacturing is going strong car sales are up. truth is, overall there were a lot of positives to the economy. the big problem is defense spending was cut 22 percent. it was the biggest drop in 42 years. it was very abrupt. it had to do with folks being worried about the possible impacts of the fiscal cliff and what goes on in washington. what i have said repeatedly is washington cannot continually operate under a cloud of crisis. that freezes up consumers. it gets businesses worried. we can't a
